TC Double Spare Tire

All,
I remember seeing an accessory mount in the Moss catalog years ago, which allowed two (2) spares to be mounted on the rear of a TA, TB, or TC. Does anyone have this setup, or a mount that they have decided not to use? Any downside, other than appearance? I think I would like to add this option to my TC, but thought I would to get as many opinions as possible! Photo's appreciated as well, of course.
Thanks, mike

I haven't seen one either, but it seems to me it's a tube of sorts with internal threads on one end to screw on the original mount to extend it and exterior threads on the other end for the knock off. I would think it would be easy for a machinist to make one. ?? PJ

Yes a dual spare option was used by hill climb cars, as well as touring cars.
I have had these manufactured and currently may have one left . If there is sufficient interest, I will commission another batch, but need at least 5 people indicating interest. The dual spare adapter simply holds the first wheel on the original spare boss on the car by screwing it into place. The second wheel is then placed on the adapter and is held in place by the TA/TC original spare wheel knock-off nut. Simple. Call or email for more details.

In reply to questions, yes you need to extend the rear lamp/license plate to accommodate the dual spares.
And yes, a 3/8" hole is drilled in the adapter to allow a 3/8" Tommy bar to be used to install, and remove, the first spare.

Dual Spare Wheel Adapter Instructions:
1-Put Grease or Never-Seize on the male threads of the adapter and spare wheel knockoff nut before installation.
2-Install first spare wheel and install adapter.
3-Tighten adapter with 3/8" tommy bar through the hole provided in the adapter.
4-Install second spare.
5-Install spare wheel knockoff and tighten normally.
